Abstract
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a photo image detector, particularly to a photo image detector with a luminous intensity controller and a method of controlling a luminous intensity for the photo image detector.
- 2. Description of Related Art
- In general, a photo image detector is applied to a digital camera, a video camera, a solid state imaging device, and a photo mouse, etc. The photo image detector includes a light device with a predetermined light quantity and detects a photo image of an object through reflected light rays when the light device irradiates the object.
- As illustrated in FIG. 1, a conventional photo image detector receiving light rays reflected from an
object 11 and detecting a photo image of the object includes alight source 10, aphoto image sensor 12, anelectric shutter 13, an analog to digital A/D converter 14, animage processor 15, and asystem controller 16. - The
light source 10 has a predetermined light quantity. Theobject 11 reflects incident light rays from thelight source 10. Thephoto image sensor 12 detects light rays reflected from theobject 11 and outputs a photocurrent or a photovoltage proportional to the incident light rays. Theelectric shutter 13 receives the photocurrent or a photovoltage outputted from thephoto image sensor 12 and extracts a photo signal. The A/D converter 14 changes the photo signal extracted from theelectric shutter 13 to a digital signal. Theimage processor 15 controls not only the digital signal converted in the A/D converter 14 to output a photo image signal, but also an exposing time of theelectric shutter 13. Thesystem controller 16 receives the photo image signal outputted from theimage processor 15 to drive a system. - When the light quantity from the
light source 10 is sufficient or a reflective ratio of the reflected light rays to the incident light rays at theobject 11 is high, sufficient quantity of the reflected light rays can be inputted to thephoto image sensor 12. Therefore, even though the electric shutter is exposed for a short time and the ratio of the photo signal to image noises inputted to thephoto image sensor 12 is high, the conventional photo image detector is able to provide a stable image quality. - However, when an amount of light rays irradiated to the
object 11 from thelight source 10 is not sufficient, or a light absorptivity of theobject 11 is high, an amount of the reflected light rays is not sufficient to be detected by thephoto image sensor 12. In this case, an exposing time of theelectric shutter 13 should be increased to receive a sufficient level of photocurrent/photovoltage from thephoto image sensor 12 for a more exact image quality of theobject 11 can be got. - As illustrated in FIG. 2, the light rays reflected from the
object 11 activates a transistor Q1 through a photo diode PD in an integrated circuit with thephoto image sensor 12 and theelectric shutter 13. Then, the incident light rays are amplified in an amount of current amplification factor hfe by the transistor Q1 and is transferred to theelectric shutter 13. - A reset signal Rst and a shutter signal Sig from the
system controller 16 or theimage processor 15 are inputted to a reset terminal S-RST and theelectric shutter 13 respectively. The reset signal Rst initializes a voltage of a capacitor C for a current/voltage conversion. The shutter signal Sig releases the initialized voltage by the photocurrent generated in the transistor Q1 for a photo signal. - When the shutter signal Sig interrupts a photocurrent path of the transistor Q1, the photo image is stored in the capacitor C and is transferred to the A/
D converter 14 through abuffer 20. - Therefore, when a total quantity of the incident light rays to the
photo image sensor 12 is not sufficient, theelectric shutter 13 has a prolonged exposing time to accumulate sufficient quantity of the incident light rays to be converted to the photo image. In this case, a principle noise level is maintained by noise sources of the photo diode PD and the transistor Q1. - When the total quantity of the incident light rays is not sufficient, the quantity of the detected light rays is less than a target quantity of the light rays, the ratio of the reflected light rays to the noises is smaller than before, as illustrated in FIG. 6a.
- To increase the ratio of the reflected light rays to the noises when the photo image is extracted, the prolonged exposing time is given to the
electric shutter 13 to get a target distribution of the photo image level. However, as the exposing time gets longer, the noises are raised up, as illustrated in FIG. 6b. Therefore, the photo image and the noises are mixed up as illustrated in FIG. 7b. - A conventional camera has a problem of a residual image when an exposing time is increased. In a similar way, the photo image detector has the same problem of a residual image when an exposing time of the
electric shutter 13 is increased. Such phenomena happen more severely when the photo image detector detects a photo image of a moving object as illustrated in FIG. 7a. - To overcome the above described problems, a photo image detector with a luminous intensity controller is provided,.
- Another aspect of the present invention provides a method of controlling a luminous intensity for a photo image detector, in which the luminous intensity of a light source is directly controlled according to a photo image reflected from an object.
- In order to achieve the above object, the photo image detector comprises a light source with a predetermined light quantity and for radiating light rays to an object, a photo image sensor which detects light rays reflected from the object and outputs a photo signal, an electric shutter which adjusts an exposing time interval according to the photo signal, an image processor which receives the photo signal and outputting a photo image signal. The image processor comprises a luminous intensity controller for controlling a luminous intensity of the light rays which are radiated from the light source to the object.
- According to another embodiment of the present invention, the luminous intensity controller is included in a system controller.
- The method of controlling a luminous intensity for a photo image detector comprises radiating light rays from a light source to an object, detecting control method of a photo image detector, which detects an incident light rays reflected from an object through an image sensor and an electric shutter. As a result, either an image processor or a system controller controls directly luminous intensity of the light source according to the quantity of the detected light rays.

- Reference will now be made in detail to preferred embodiments of the present invention.
- FIG. 3 is a block diagram illustrating one embodiment of a photo image detector and a luminous intensity control method therefor according to the present invention. The photo image detector includes a
light source 50, aphoto image sensor 52, anelectric shutter 53, an A/D converter 54, animage processor 55, and asystem controller 56. - The
light source 50 has a predetermined light quantity. Anobject 51 reflects light rays radiated from thelight source 50. Thephoto image sensor 52 detects the reflected light rays from theobject 51 and outputs a photo signal in a form of a photocurrent or a photovoltage proportional to the reflected light rays. Theelectric shutter 53 adjusts an exposing time interval according to the photocurrent or the photovoltage and extracts the photo signal. The A/D converter 54 converts the photo signal extracted through theelectric shutter 53 to a digital signal. Theimage processor 55 receives the digital signal from the A/D converter 54 and outputs a photo image signal. Thesystem controller 56 receives the photo image signal to drive a system. - According to the present invention, the image processor comprises a luminous intensity controller which outputs a control signal according to the photo image signal, and controls directly luminous intensity of the
light source 50. - According to another embodiment of the present invention, the system controller comprises a luminous intensity controller which outputs a control signal to control directly luminous intensity of the light source.
- The luminous intensity controller employs a pulse width modulation PWM or a pulse duration modulation PDM, and controls directly the luminous intensity of the
light source 50. Also, the luminous intensity controller employs a current or a voltage to directly control the luminous intensity of thelight source 50. Additionally, thesystem controller 56 can convert one of the signals PWM, PDM, a current, and a voltage to an output signal of thesystem controller 56, and directly control the luminous intensity of thelight source 50. - FIG. 4 is a block diagram illustrating another embodiment of a photo image detector and a method of controlling a luminous intensity therefore according to the present invention. As illustrated in FIG. 4, a predetermined control signal outputted from the luminous intensity controller in the
image processor 55 controls the luminous intensity of thelight source 50 and the exposing time of theelectric shutter 53. The driving method for the photo image detector will be described in detail. - The
light source 50 receives a predetermined luminosity control signal from the luminous intensity controller in theimage processor 55 or thesystem controller 56 and radiates light rays to theobject 51. Theobject 51 receives the light rays from the light source and reflects light rays. The light rays reflected from theobject 51 are inputted to theimage sensor 52. - Then, the
image sensor 52 accumulates light rays for a predetermined exposing time interval adjusted through theelectric shutter 53 for a predetermined level of a photo signal, and the photo signal is inputted to the A/D converter 54. - The A/
D converter 54 converts the photo signal to a digital signal and outputs the digital signal to theimage processor 55. Theimage processor 55 receives the digital signal to output a photo image signal, and the luminous intensity controller receives the photo image signal including a pulse modulation signal PWM or a PDM to output a luminous intensity control signal to adjust the luminous intensity of thelight source 50. - When the luminous intensity of the
light source 50 is suitable so that theimage processor 55 can produce a photo image signal so as to give a predetermined quality of a photo image of theobject 51, the luminosity signal for adjusting the luminous intensity of thelight source 50 is not changed. - On the contrary, when the luminous intensity of the
light source 50 needs to be changed, the luminous intensity controller employs one of the signals PWM, PDM, a current, and a voltage outputted from theimage processor 55 and output a luminous intensity control signal to thelight source 50 to control a power pulse applied to thelight source 50. As illustrated in FIG. 6d, the luminous intensity alone is raised up to a target value while a noise is retained in a value as before. Therefore, a photo image of the object without a noise and without a residual effect can be achieved, specially, when the photo image detector detects an image of a moving object, as illustrated in FIG. 7c and FIG. 7d. - In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the luminous intensity controller in the
image processor 55 or in thesystem controller 56 outputs directly one of the signals PWM, PDM, a current, and a voltage as a control signal not only to thelight source 50, but also to theelectric shutter 53. Therefore, by adjusting both the luminous intensity of thelight source 50 and the exposing time of theelectric shutter 53, a image noise and a residual image can be removed and special effects, such as an intentional distortion to an image and a residual effect can be controlled. - Therefore, the photo image detector according to the present invention provides an enhanced quality of a photo image of an object by controlling the luminous intensity of the light source. Also, the luminous intensity control method for a photo image detector according to the present invention improves an image quality of an object by removing an image noise and a residual image caused by insufficient luminous intensity of a light source, and reduces a consumption of a power supply by adjusting directly the luminous intensity of the light source.
- While the invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to preferred embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the foregoing and other changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
